Microphone picks up keyboard loudly

Jeez, do you try to kill your keyboard? I don't know if you check out of his stream or not but, Destiny has the exact same keyboard as you and despite his key strokes being as audible as yours, his are actually pleasing to the ears unlike yours where it literally sounds like you are trying to destroy your keyboard.

Is it possible that you can position so that you can minimize the sound of you thumping your keyboard? Perhaps place the mic behind you so that its further away from the keyboard and closer to you?

Destiny might have the silent edition (they sound like brown switches, not blue).

Destiny has blues, browns sound completely different.

But it sounds like the OP is bottoming the keys too hard.

wrap your keyboard in cloth to muffle the sound psh you dont need to see a keyboard to type on it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Many people who are used to Membrane Keyboards will press the keys down too far on a Mechanical Keyswitch, 'bottoming out' on every keystroke, resulting in a loud clack in addition to the light click of the keyswitch which is generated half-way through the key travel distance. Once a user learns to not press the keys completely down with every keystroke, the level of noise generated when typing on a mechanical keyswitch keyboard is substantially reduced.

The reason why my keyboard sounds alot louder is because it is on the same desk as the keyboard + it is alot cheaper than destiny's microphone. I'm sure im not hitting my keyboard too hard because it's the same volume no matter how much pressure i put on it for the keys to register. Are there any "noise cancelling microphones" that arent from headsets, clip-ons?. I will try the sponge/cloth trick later today . Thanks guys.
